From early on in the mass-production of celluloid films for home viewing, small companies looking to make quick and easy money would distribute their own copies of B Movies on 8-mm, super 8-mm and 16-mm film. The cheaper the company the more corners they cut, and would employ the unusual drawing abilities of an in-house artist (or just any one with a pen who had a bit of spare time) to reproduce the films original artwork for their covers. The results are to our eyes beautiful and unhinged illustration.
